"The Big Game" -- The BAU team is called in to investigate when a wealthy couple is murdered in their home following a Super Bowl party, on CRIMINAL MINDS, Sunday, Feb. 4 immediately following CBS Sports' coverage of Super Bowl XLI. Gloria Muzio directed the episode from a script written by Edward Allen Bernero, one of the series' executive producers.

James van der Beek ("Dawson's Creek") guest stars as a troubled young man.

CBS Sports announcers Jim Nantz and Phil Simms make cameo appearances.

Hotchner and the BAU team fear they are facing a mission-based serial killer, or multiple killers, when a 911 phone call quoting bible passages from Revelations is placed by someone in the house just seconds before the murders occur. As the team begins their profile, Garcia discovers that the tech-savvy unsub (unknown subject) sent out a video of the murders over the Internet just hours after they were committed, which is viewed by millions of users. Meanwhile, Hotchner, Morgan and Prentiss must determine how many people are actually responsible for the murders since different voices can be heard on the 911 recording and on the video.
